Hum Bihar se aye hu!!

A couple of years back there was a famous joke making rounds, then the President of America "Bill Clinton" visits Bihar and conveys to Laloo Prasad Yadav,

"Give Bihar to my government and we will make Bihar like USA in one year."

To which Laloo, then the chief-minister of Bihar argues,

"Give USA to my government and I shall make it like Bihar in one day!!!!"

With two years as a railway minister, Laloo Prasad Yadav's ministry has out-performed any other ministry in the government in terms of performance, profit and expectations. No one in their dreams would have imagined awarding an important ministry to Laloo would reap the profits, it currently does. This guy, who is an epitome of illiteracy and whose name tops every list portraying corruption in government, has single-handedly transformed the Indian Railways into a cash-cow enterprise.

Before Laloo, "Indian railways" running cost was a burden on government. Each minister prior to Laloo had only increased ticket fares, not reasoning trains running efficiencies, nor did they try to profit on Indian railways true strengths. Weather it's keeping the tickets fares in-check or marketing railways goods department, Laloo has impressed the masses as well as the classes. For once people are discussing Laloo's performance and his ministerial skills instead of his Bihari accent!!

Laloo is trying to reason like an Industrial/ Production manager by trying to decrease the turn around time and accommodate more trains per route. He does not consider the mammoth Indian Railways as a monopoly business, but is trying to compete with the booming Indian Airline industry. He is in true sense optimizing Indian Railways potential!!

I always believed in education and its benefits.. But for once this Bihari Joker has made me believe in now the very famous statement

" You need not be from Harvard to function efficiently"
